Kolkata: In a body blow to Maoists, the
joint forces killed top Maoist leader Mollajulla Koteswar Rao
in a fierce gunbattle in a forest in West Midnapore district
On Thursday.
The body of 58-year-old Rao alias Kishenji, a Maoist
politburo member and ranking third in Maoist hierarchy leading
armed operations in junglemahal since 2009, was found after
the encounter and identified, a top counter-insurgency force
official said.
"Kishenji has been killed and his body identified
along with his AK-47 rifle," the official told agency here.
The joint forces, acting on specific information that
Kishenji was present started cordoning off the area, after the
Maoist leader had escaped for a second time since March last
year from the Kushaboni forest nearby yesterday, the official
1,000 personnel of the joint forces of CRPF, BSF and
CoBRA, launched an offensive and broke through the four-tier
security of Maoists comprising `village defence squads` after
a fire-fight at Burisole jungle, he said.
He said the joint forces were looking for Suchitra
Mahato, a Maoist woman leader with whom Kishenji lived and was
accompanying him, and others who fled after the encounter.
The joint forces recovered letters written by Kishenji
and Suchitra Mahato, besides a laptop bag and some documents
after raiding the house of a person named Dharmendra Mahato at
Gosaibandh village.
"Kishenji`s plan was to move to Malabal jungle in
Jharkhand, but we were successful in sealing all escape
routes. We could confine him to the Burisole forest," the
official said.
In Delhi, Union Home Secretary R K Singh told reporters
that "most likely it is Kishenji. The officers on the spot
said that it is Kishenji and most likely, 99 per cent it is
Singh said the Home Ministry sent the latest
photographs of the Maoist leader for comparison and final

receiving a directive from the Union Home ministry, Director
General of Police Naparajit Mukherjee said here.
Senior officers, including IG (Western Range) Gangeswar

Force (CIF) Superintendent of Police Manoj Verma, and CIF DIG

Left Front rule, who was sent on compulsory wait when the new
government took over, was recently recalled to intensify the
operations against the Maoists after Mamata Banerjee took a
hard stand against the ultras.

|Comparison in size to a "tall" Starbucks coffee.
On the daily, I leave the modded Mag sitting on a wooden box next to the front door. The only security lights outside at our house are the front and back porch light. Being that we work midnights and are often letting the dog in and out, we spend a lot of time out in the darkness.
Now, I like my time in the dark but I like my ability to have control over it even more. I'm not going to lie, I have a lot of lights as bright (but smaller) or brighter than the Malkoff. However, I've tried to use it and consider it objectively. In other words, how would I like it if this was my one and only go-to light and my experience with the flashaholic world was limited.
Using that as a guideline I realized that the Malkoff is quite frankly fantastic. Being in a Maglite body, it will take a lot of abuse. Drop it, bump it into something, etc and it will be fine. The Malkoff unit itself is supposedly nearly bombproof though I can't claim to have tested this myself. Being as I have to pay for all my lights myself, I'm not willing to torture test them. The host I'm using has been around for several years so it has its share of scratches and its not exactly my personal favorite color but it does the job and best of all it was free. I did manage to drop it rather hard on hard packed dirt and it handled that just fine. I have no doubt that it would handle the same drop on concrete with nary a problem. Now, I switched the plastic lens out for glass so I'd say that would possibly be the one weak point in a particularly nasty battle with gravity.
|New glass lens on the left. Old scratchy plastic lens on the right.
Let me break this into two separate sections. First will be for the lay-person with little knowledge of high end lights. The second will be for flashaholics such as myself.
For the every day user you will notice a few things in the use of this light. Its bright. VERY bright. Rated at 260 lumens out the front, it will probably be one of the brightest lights you will use. Throw is very good. If you are using it in the home, it will be perhaps TOO bright. If you are using it outdoors, hiking, hunting, security, farm use, etc you will find that as long as your eyes are good, you will see quite a bit at quite a long range. It practically sips at the batteries so you won't find yourself needing to constantly buy those expensive D cells (or Cs if you went with that option). I'd venture to say that most people could go a few months on the same set of batteries. If you have the extra dough to splurge on a truely good light, this is one you should very seriously consider putting together. The small amount of work to put one together is so very worth it compared to the amount of light and run time this light offers.
For the flashaholic, you may see things differently depending upon just how spoiled you are. Throw is good. However, the amount of lumens actually hitting downrange may not be what you are used to with smaller and more powerful 18650 lights. While you can indeed see quite a ways, you may not be able to see as much detail within that circle of light.
|Same shot as above but with my Maelstrom size comparison. Obviously the Maglite is larger but that's not always a bad thing.
The color temperature is definitely on the cool side. I prefer neutrals and warms myself. If you like cool tinted lights, you'll like this.
Weight compared to lumens is one sticky point. My 4Sevens Maelstrom is much smaller and lighter and throws out just as much light or more. However, runtime at that brightness level isn't even CLOSE to the Malkoff.
Heat has been pretty much a non issue for me. I've run it for extended period of times and its gotten "warm". That may change as we get into warmer months but as of now, I notice the body near the head warm up fairly quickly and then seem to plateau out. I'd say this is a good sign that the heat sinking is working.
Multiple modes. Well, quite simply this isn't for you if you like low, high, medium, strobe, sos, etc. This is pretty simple here. On and off is it. Sometimes though, simple is better.
I'd love to take some good beam shots for you all but my phone doesn't make for a good light beam camera and my DSLR batteries have all gone bad. Perhaps I can find someone to help me out there. That being said, I find the beam pattern very useful. The spot is adjustable just as with an incan maglite. The spill beam is also quite useable and if used while walking, is just about perfect to light up your path as the spot reaches out to light up in the distance.
In summary, I just can't find any flaws with this light other than my own expectations based off of experience with other high end lights. If you are considering purchasing this light, I highly suggest you do. If you have any questions about it, feel free to give me a shout and I'll try to help you out as best I can.
|Modded (cut) reflector on left. Stock reflector on right. Little clean up would make the modded one look nicer but as is, it has no ill effects on the light's function.
|Stock light with bulb and cradle removed. Right is modded with the Malkoff module in place.

Dog and Daughter
'Just nipping down to the 'Dog'n'Daughter' for a quick pint!!!'
Something really funny happened yesterday evening...
To set the scene:
Youngest Doughter was at a BBQ on Saturday, and by way of entertainment they all went kayaking and swimming in the lake afterwards, (as one does when its warm!) so after Church she was pretty tired and went to bed to sleep for the afternoon. Well, about six o'c she got up - and this is where it gets funny:
Hoover-dog was lying in the Hall and, on hearing thuds and bumps from upstairs decided that there was a Security Issue at hand, so he began to bark, woofing and growling and going for maximum Security Alert.
After a few minutes of this outcry Youngest comes clumping and crashing down the stairs (honestly- at what age do offspring start using the stairs in a civilized manner?) and Hoover-dog goes increasingly ballistic until suddenly he realises who it is...
...brief silence, dog-brain-cogs turn...
Hoover-dog squirms, you know, when a dog gets embarrassed and does the whole body wiggle thing?
...dog-brain-cogs turn some more as Youngest stares Hoover-dog down, how the heck do I get out of this one?...
Hoover-dog decides to treat the whole thing as a joke and starts jumping around wagging his tail and greeting Youngest like she's just returned from safari or something...
I know it all happened in far less time than it takes to tell, but it really was so funny- when our dogs embarrass themselves its so hilarious to watch, and the more I laugh, the more they try to pretend it never happened!!
And by the way- please enter my One Year Bloggiversary Doggerel Contest? I promise not to send you Hoover-dog as a prize!! It'll be something far more civilized!!
PS I've managed to import some of the posts from my previous blog, in case you are wondering how the posts archive suddenly got so long.

It's been a banner year for crime fiction kingpin Dennis Lehane.
In May, the Dorchester native — best known for "Gone, Baby, Gone" and "Shutter Island" — released "Since We Fell," his 12th novel, to strong reviews as well as a film deal with DreamWorks, for whom Lehane has already spun his book into a script.
Moving between mediums is nothing new for the author, who's scripted episodes of "The Wire" in addition to the 2014 crime drama "The Drop" (based on his own short story). And if you're curious as to why this summer's "Mr. Mercedes," about a retired detective chasing a demented serial killer, may hold an unusual grit and gristle in its familiar cat-and-mouse setup, look no further than the Audience Network drama's writing room, where Lehane occupied a well-worn seat at the table.
As that series, based on a Stephen King novel, unspools its first season of 10 episodes — including four scripted by Lehane — the author spoke to the Globe by phone about the adaptation process and why tackling TV and writing a novel are two very different animals.
Q. With "Mr. Mercedes," you're adapting not only someone else's work but a Stephen King novel. History tells us that's no easy task. How was working on the series for you?
A. It was great. It was so cool. This was one of those projects where I couldn't believe I was getting paid, because it was just so fun. Not just to adapt something Stephen King wrote, which is a hell of an honor, but [to adapt] something that I feel spoke to my wheelhouse in a lot of ways with the world in which it's set.
Q. Could you expand on that?
A. Sure. I feel like he was writing very much about a discarded America, the America that got run over by globalization and the switch from a manufacturing economy to a consumer-based economy. The book is set in a particular time period, and the book's inciting incident is set very clearly post-2008 in old-town America, where a bunch of job seekers are run over by a foreign automobile. I don't think you have to reach too far to figure out what those metaphors are.
Q. Did you enjoy writing any characters more than others?
A. [Detective Bill] Hodges was [in] my wheelhouse, completely. When we cast Brendan Gleeson, I was like, "Oh my God, I'm going to have a blast here." I enjoyed writing Deborah Hartsfield [the abusive mother to serial killer Brady]. King has this moment in the book where he just goes boom, right into her backstory. It's this very jarring, wonderful chapter opening; we see who she was and what her life was, and then this tragedy struck, and then a second tragedy struck, and then she was left financially destroyed, which is the theme the book keeps going back to. She becomes the Deb we meet, but it wasn't like she was born that way. In the book, it's backstory, which you can do as a novelist. I can't do that as a writer of the show, but I could be like, "How can I show it?" And then I got to write that episode.
Q. On that note, both "Mr. Mercedes" and [the 2017 novel] "Since We Fell" find you writing complex, central female characters. That's a shift from most of the thrillers for which you're known. Did the change in perspective present any particular challenge?
A. It's funny, because all through my writing days prior to publishing, the vast majority of my short stories were from a woman's perspective. And then, once I started publishing, I was just doing males all the time, and it was like, "OK, whatever, I fell into this." But then I wrote "Mystic River" and I got to do one of the point-of-view characters as a woman. I remember feeling like, "Wow, I missed this — this is liberating." And then I forgot all about it, of course, until I went back to doing it again. I don't overthink those things too much. I just know that when it feels right, when it feels natural, I just go with it. You spend so much time as a writer doing what I call banging on the box, desperately in search of catching the zeitgeist. When a character just comes to you that way, when you lock in, I just run with it.
Q. What specific difficulties are there in writing for TV?
A. It's a visual medium. If I've learned anything over 10 years, since I started on "The Wire," it's that, to my core, the talkier the scene, usually the weaker it is.
'This was one of those projects where I couldn't believe I was getting paid, because it was just so fun. Not just to adapt something Stephen King wrote . . . but something that I feel spoke to my wheelhouse in a lot of ways.'
Q. How does the TV format compare to writing a novel?
A. Oh, it's a completely different sense of ownership. The two aren't even comparable. When you write a movie, you're one of 150 people, at minimum, and your contribution is about as important as a great many other people's — or less important. You turn in your script, it's like a little template, and they do what they will with it. TV is a different sense of ownership, because you're in the writer's room, there's a whole bunch of you, and the writer is respected in a different way. You can control a little bit more, to be honest. You still don't control everything, but you have a little more agency. And that's super fun. Then, when you write a book, you control everything. You're God, period. Sometimes, it's wonderful being God. Other times, it's just way more moral responsibility than I want.
Q. What are you working on currently?
A. I'm doing a TV show [for FX] about New York in the 1980s, about the end of the Five Families and the rise of the Wall Street gangsters.
Q. One last question: Few crime writers are as linked with a city as you are with Boston. How did you respond to seeing last weekend's counter-protests?
A. Couldn't have been prouder. You don't understand — I was traveling, and that was the front page of every newspaper. It was the lead feed of every channel on TV. I don't think I've ever been prouder to be a Bostonian.Interview was edited and condensed. Isaac Feldberg can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com or on Twitter at @isaacfeldberg.

Outsourcing Compliance and Governance of Ethics in Healthcare Organizations
Healthcare fraud, questionable ethics and corporate misconduct has rapidly escalated in the 21st Century. This growth in non-compliance and business failure is a response to the high-profile governance failures resulting in reciprocal regulatory reforms (Andresisovi, 2016; Golinkin, 2013; Othman et al., 2015). The Centers of Medicare and Medicaid Services provide reimbursement to long term care organizations for the elderly care underscores the necessity of compliance personnel connected to corporate compliance for the development, operation, and supervision of compliance programs (Jaeger, 2015; Mulcahy, 2016). Some long term care organizations respond by the execution of Chief Ethics and Compliance Officer (ECO), while others outsource parts or all of Compliance and Ethics Program. The role and objective of both organizational approaches is to help ensure employee ethicality, legal behavior and response to outside legitimacy challenges faced by corporations. An effective ethics and compliance program fuels and supports the advancement of an organization culture of shared responsibility, and compliance. Governance of ethics practices preserve the connection between internal business ethical requirements, expectations, and external organizational reputation.
Statement of the Problem
Compliance may not be a source of generating revenue but it remains a key avenue for the management of risk and potential noncompliance that result in unavoidable expense to the organization. The problem is outsourced compliance and ethics programs have less locus of control over procurement fraud and healthcare fraud involving services and billing due to restricted accessibility to an internal compliance professional and limited ability to maintain compliance infrastructure ( Bird & Park, 2016; Recker, Yale & Denton, 2012). Healthcare organizations noncompliance with regulatory policies result in firms facing leadership scandals, sanctions, collapsed business strategies, brand and reputation loss (Collins, 2015; Golinkin, 2013; MacLean, 2015). Outsourcing compliance is a business function associated with delegating compliance activity to an external entity versus an internal compliance department. While outsourced compliance and ethic services may be cost effective, the remote nature of the evaluation, and monitoring function may result in a disconnect between formal corporate policy and the influence on individual ethicality during ethical point of decision activity. Corporate ethicality is described and clarified in the context of standards of business conduct, codes of conduct, ethics training and reporting ethical performance. The objective of organizational governance of ethics is to increase the locus of control between formal ethics policy and actual business conduct (Deloitte, 2013; Jaeger 2015; Jarvis, 2012). The connection suggests the need for intimate working knowledge of the actual core business operations, flow of business obligation and responsibility practices, beliefs, norms and ethical environmental values. There are no government stipulations that mandate in – house compliance personnel. This proposed study would provide a useful contribution to healthcare leaders understanding the critical factors that limit the effectiveness of outsourced compliance programs in development of compliance infrastructure to reduce corporate misconduct.
Purpose Statement
The purpose of the qualitative grounded research is to understand the influence of organization governance of ethics in long term care corporations that outsource compliance and ethics responsibilities. The phenomena under study is the locus of control outsourced compliance and ethics program exert on governance of ethics to avoid non-compliant behavior. The grounded design is an optimal study approach related to the descriptive procedures that support multiple stages of data collection for the emergence theory based on opinions of the participants (Creswell, 2014; Fraenkel, Wallen, & Hyun, 2012). The specific population under study is corporate leaders, field department leaders, and employees. The sample population is a mix of 30 corporate leader, field department leaders, and employees. Multiple forms of data collection are used as an evolving method to fulfill the purpose of the research using observation, document reviews, open ended surveys, interview protocols, and focus groups. The research will take place in a setting that the long -term care corporation has been charged by the U.S. Attorney's Office for healthcare fraud. The gap in research is the discovery of critical factors that link formal governance of ethics processes to employee decisions that lead to ethical misconduct when the organization has outsourced compliance and ethics.

Jobs and Growth
While government doesn't create jobs, it shouldn't get in the way of businesses. As a former small businessman, Mike understands the importance of limited government.
Attracting new jobs and growing Jeffersonville's economy has been Mike's top priority. And his pro-business agenda is getting results.
- Nearly 3,000 new jobs have come to Jeffersonville. With the arrival of new businesses like Amazon, Catamaran and Fuji Seal, Jeffersonville is bucking the trend. That's more than all of the jobs created in the four years preceding Mike's administration.
- We're keeping jobs right here in Jeffersonville. Existing business have invested over $40 million expanding here in Jeffersonville.
- Private development is in progress near the Big Four Bridge at the old Rose Hill School.
- On Veterans Parkway, Boombozz Pizza and Culver's are open and plans have been approved for a new Menards that will anchor Jeffersonville's side of the commercial corridor.
- 10th Street revitalization is now underway with more construction slated in 2016.
- Mike's hard work is getting noticed. Jeffersonville was named the fourth best place in Indiana for job seekers.
Mike's strategy is simple – focus on growing our local economy by making Jeffersonville the place to do business.
Quality of Life
To succeed as a community, Mike knows we must improve the quality of life for everyone. Companies are attracted to communities that are a good place to live, work and do business.
Under Mike's leadership, Jeffersonville is investing in the future by improving quality of life. And it's making a difference. Jeffersonville was ranked among the best in the State to raise a family.
- The Jeffersonville Public Arts Committee is working on various cultural projects to highlight art in the city, led by a new, innovative public arts administrator.
- More public space is available for families to enjoy such as a newly renovated Vissing Park that opened in 2013. The wonderful new Woehrle Soccer Complex is now open. Jeffersonville's first city park in the annexed area is about finished.
- The land next to Duffy's Landing, the city's last open green space is becoming a new boat launch along with sidewalks along Utica Pike to improve safety in the area.
- Construction is underway on a new marina in downtown to reclaim the beautiful view of The Ohio River. Very soon, boaters will come to "dock, shop and dine" in downtown Jeffersonville.
- The Big Four Bridge is finally open and brining thousands of new people to discovery Jeffersonville's downtown shops and restaurants.
- Construction is underway at Big Four Station – a park at the foot of the Big Four Bridge with two blocks of green space, a playground, pavilion and water feature.
- A new streetscape has improved Chestnut Street – connecting the Big Four to Spring Street with bicycle lanes
Fiscal Responsibility
Mike's vision has helped Jeffersonville recover from the recession. Did you know that the City of Jeffersonville ended last year with a surplus of $9 million? And it's been done without raising taxes.
- In two years, Mike has cut the Mayor's office budget nearly 58% – from a high of $480,000 under the prior administration to a six year low of $202,000.
- There are two employees in the Mayor's office compared to the six employees working for the prior administration when Mike took office in January 2012.
- Mike has instituted other cost saving measures such as spending less on travel. While the prior administration was spending for than $12,000 per year on travel, last year the Mayor's office spent less than $5,000.
- Nearly $1 million has been saved over the last 2 ½ years due to other cuts and cost saving measures implemented by Mike.
It's these cost savings that are helping to make our city government leaner and more efficient. But our fiscal discipline isn't slowing down our progress. Since taking office in January 2012, Mike's pro-growth policies have helped attract nearly 3,000 new jobs to Jeffersonville.
The numbers speak for themselves. They prove that you can do more for less. With Mike's continued commitment to streamlining government and cutting wasteful spending, the city's fiscal health will remain strong.

Integrate Fax API for Automatic Email to Fax System
Budjetti $250-750 USD
I need someone to integrate a Fax API for automatic faxing from email to designated fax numbers. The fax service I will most likely be using is Interfax ([url removed, login to view]). Please see their FAX API section for more details on how they can be integrated using API. Here is what I need the automatic faxing system to do:
I have a website with several different forms (Wordpress - Custom Contact Forms) whose form submissions need to be sent via fax to specific fax numbers. The form submissions are received via email will be all text and just contain a few lines of information such as name, phone #, etc. These emails need to be forwarded via fax to certain numbers.
Submission from Form 25 ---> Needs to be faxed to 432-768-xxxx
Submission from Form 162 ---> Needs to be faxed to 634-912-xxxx
I think the easiest way to do this is have all the forms submitted to one email account, and from there would be forwarded to a certain fax number. The fax number could be determined by what is in the subject line of the incoming email form submission, which I can customize when I create the form. I need someone to let me know if this is the best way. I could simply make the destination fax number the subject line of the incoming email.
There will be hundreds of forms going to the email account all day, possibly several thousand outgoing faxes per day, so keep that in mind during development.
-I would like to run this on a server (I have a linux vps, but can purchase a windows server if necessary) as this will need to run 24/7. I would like you to properly set it up for us.
-I would need a way to track how many faxes were being sent to each number somehow. This could possibly be done through the email client, or I know Interfax has some sort of tracking system but I do not know how it works. I would need some way to count how many were sent to each number on a monthly basis.
-Let me know what email client you think would be best for this. Like I said above, I need something that can track outgoing faxes monthly so I can keep an easy watch on how many are sent to each number each month. I also need it to have the ability to send to the fax number I have in the subject line of the email that is to be faxed, unless you have a different solution.
Please let me know if you have any questions, I am very serious about this project and need to find the best solution possible. Thank you for your time.

42 Responses to "Fighting Rheumatoid Arthritis Depression"
[…] This post was mentioned on Twitter by Roxanne McCoury, Physician Perfected and MedicinalAntExtract, Kelly Young. Kelly Young said: Blog Post: Fighting Rheumatoid Arthritis Depression http://bit.ly/hYnMNy […]
Thank you for posting this. I have been fighting depression for a year now. Thankfully I am on really good antidepressants (Cymbalta). Unfortunately prior to these meds I was seriously depressed, so much so that I was extremely close to suicide. Thankfully I got the help that I needed through hospitalization and counseling. I now understand what causes my depression and how to keep it from happening if I can. Not everyone understands why those of us who have a disease such as this can be depressed. Unfortunately when I was asked once why I was depressed and I explained I received the response, "There's no reason to be depressed." I know it was well-wishing but unfortunately it was not the best thing to say.
Depression unfortunately runs in my family…my sister is severely bi-polar, and all over the map. I cover my depression with a thin shield of humor, and usually cope well. Sometimes the shield cracks, or shatters and I have relapses. I do take some minor anti-depressants, and some days are better then others.
I do better in a online environment, then in a "real-life" one (is that bad?), perhaps because I have always been a geek.
My faith in God, family, and a few close friends keep me going. The online support and perspective of others help so much.I do some visiting to a retirement home, where a family friend is…helps keep me in perspective, and to see him and other residents react to visits cheers the soul.
My Black Lab is my constant companion, and her deep licorice all-sort eyes, always cheer me on. I highly recommend, a pet as a major anti-depressant
I know there are better days ahead, and my final destination is worth the trip.
My Rheumatologist explained this to me recently as a process – we are losing a part of ourselves so it is natural to "mourn". Mourning may turn to anger/frustration and finally acceptance. Unfortunately, because of the hills and valleys of this disease, we may go through this cycle continually. For me, just hearing this from her was encouraging (daunting maybe, but encouraging). Knowing that this is a process and that there is no easy "fix", I try to stay positive and focus on the blessings in life and know that help is available if things become too overwhelming. PS I agree about pets being an anti depressant – my little furball is in my lap as I write
Yes. God is good. He has to be to listen to me everyday, several times a day. And so are you Kelly and all the contributors on this site. I don't run anymore, but this is one place i hurry to when I'm not so happy. So i thank God and you for giving me a place to come and know that someone truly does understand where I'm coming from.
Finding people to talk to on the web, since I don't know anyone with my illness around me. Has realy help me.
The best thing againts depression ? Not to feel alone.
I have experienced mood swings more than normal, thinking it is a side effect of medication. Depression, think myself lucky to be alive and getting well, better again. Looking into the chemistry of Inositol: http://www.bipolar-lives.com/benefits-of-inositol.html. Self experimentation, looks like it is benefiting, confident. Could blog more chemistry if anyone really interested.
I found that when the constant pain caused by my RA and treatments that were disappointing, I fell into a depression. Before my diagnosis, I was dealing with OCD-compulsive cleaning which was also therapeutic (anyone who understands OCD knows that the behaviors we exhibit releases anxiety).
When I could no longer release my anxiety through my OCD (the RA had robbed me of the ability to clean, clean, & clean some more)and the frustration, fear, & anger because of the RA spiraled out of control, I had to seek professional help.
I went to a psychiatrist who in addition to behavior modification therapy, psychotherapy and medication, helped me lift myself out of the depression. While it has been 1 1/2 years since my therapy, I would have no problems of seeking therapy again if I felt the depression returning (the OCD is blog-worthy, LOL).
We have to be willing to seek whatever help we need. This is a very unpredictable disease and we need all of the support we can get.
I was only just diagnosed with RA at the beginning of January 2011. I find it reassuring that I'm not alone in my intermitant depression. It just seems really unfair that god would let Someone who is only 18 to get sick like this. Does anyone know how to find a good counselor for chronic illness?
Sangichan, I am so so sorry that you have this demon called RA!!! I too have often wondered and asked why God let this happen to me and anyone else. Then when my mind is right (from days of less pain) I realize that God did not "give" me RA!! I really think that illness is enviromental, something in the air we breathe. Some bodies can handle enviromental factors and some can't. I also have a constant nagging in the back of my mind that those of us that do endure such illness are here to help and or show others something…..to help them with their day to day living in this ever fast moving and changing world. Why do I think this? My late husband passed away from a very rare for of Cancer, he being the 3rd person to ever have this form of Cancer. During his illness and day to day suffering, a friend gave me a book to read that helped me in his illness and in his passing on. "Enbraced by the Light" by Bettie J. Eadie. In this book is a chapter that explains why these things happen and it made a lot of sense to me. I think maybe this book may help you with your present feelings of your newly diagnosed condition. It is okay to be angry. Heck, I was diagnosed in 1999, and I still get angry….especially when my treatment plans stop working and I have to begin the process all over again with a new plan. Just yesterday, I considered suicide! I felt totally helpless and useless to myself and my family! Thankfully for me, I reached out to my RA Warriors and thy got me through a very low and deep hole that I was slipping into. Please now that God loves you! And he would never "give" you a disease. Disease is man made….from the evils of the world. I pray that you seek some counceling, and if you don't, please reach out to the Warriors on RAWarriors……they will never give up on you or let you down. I also pray that your Doctors begin aggressive treatment and it stops the destruction that no treatment will cause.
Sangichan: please know you are not alone. I agree with what Cindy and Kelly both said. I was young also when diagnosed, with a husband and a young child. I saw that although i didn;t know the reason why I got the disease, that God has been with me every step of the journey. There have been periods of depression though ;through this long journey(i am 49) and I was helped by talking to my doctor who also gave me a referral to a counselor. Also, I have been helped by antidepressants.
What you are experiencing and feeling are so very normal , as part of the grieving process in response to this diagnosis. It is hard to say how your disease will affect you physically. Hopefully, you will have milder disease, Please take care of yourself. I hope it is a comforting thought that much better meds are being researched and developed all the time. There are many more meds now than when I was first sick. And the existence of a website, like RA Warrior, and the support and information i found there, would have been so welcome by me, when I first became sick.I hope you find the same to be true, and that you know you are not alone.
As a Christian woman, prior to the sudden onset of my RA in December, I never believed I would ever have to be on any sort of mood altering or antidepressant drugs, because I had Jesus in my heart so it could never be necessary due to the joy that he brings me.
About 10 days post onset, and during the diagnosis phase, while only on mobic and prednisone, I found myself having to pray hard throughout the day, knowing that the severe pain and fatigue of RA was causing my moods and brain to be out of control, and that the thoughts, impatience, anger and frustration the disease was causing, were not coming from the true me.
I was so grateful when a week later I was given Cymbalta, along with other meds I am currently on. I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't experienced it personally, but within an hour of my first dose, I was able to calmly and logically process and handle things. I believe that pride could have kept me from taking the pills had I not been so desperate for help, and I know that God appoints doctors and scientists to perscribe and formulate the medicines that will help us. While RA continues to be a daily battle, struggling with pain and fatigue, at least I can deal with it logically now:)
I think we have to be very careful not to turn down medicinal help due to stigma, fads, or current popular belief. I believe that God is in control of everything including appointing us with this disease. Our witness throughout it with be to his glory if we allow it to be.
I am also a Christian and at a crossroads with my Ra treatment. This past winter has played havoc on me I am not rebounding like I have in past years. The exhaustion and chronic ache has taken its toll culminating in overwhelming depression. While I think I am over the stigma of using medication as a Christian….long over after dealing with my RA for 6 years, I am hestitant about taking another med but the depression isn't lifting. Thanks for you post. I gives me courage.
There are so many negatives and difficulties with RA it's very easy to sink into depression.
A small thing that I have found keeps the black dog (depression) at bay is keeping a gratitude journal. I suffered clinical depression for the best part of three years while learning to live with RA and working with a counsellor used a journal to get myself back to being myself. It was little things like being able to get a carton open, or making it down the steps when my ankles felt like they were encased in cement. It's so easy to feel defeated with this disease, but looking back on that first journal, I see how much more positive I am now.
Strangely, it helps me to know that depression is just a part of this health condition. When I am depressed, eventually I remember that it's like having a flare and I'm not "really" depressed, and it becomes much easier to manage.
It's amazing to find that I can sympathize with so many of these posts. I too had the diagnosis of depression before the diagnosis of RA. I do think it was in connection to the fact that I was slowly losing the old me and losing the ability to do the things I loved. I also was one of those OCD clean people. My apartment was methodically cleaned each week, laundry done each Sunday and put away immediately. As a teacher, I could wake at 5 and continue to run all day until bed at 10 or 11. So much of that is gone now. I am closing in on a year of RA symptoms and still find it frustrating, and then depressing, that I can't lead the life I put so much value in. I struggle to understand why I was given the love of teaching and then given this disease that makes everything so difficult to do. I struggle with the lonely feeling because so many around me don't understand what this disease truly feels like. I have been told by so many that perhaps my depression is because of the meds, or that having a positive attitude might change things. I really struggle when people tell me they understand because their grandma has arthritis or they themselves have a hurt knee when it rains. How do you tell them that they are so far off? That the pain at times is indescribable. That the depression stems from a lonely place of chronic pain and that if I could just "suck it up" and keep going, I would. Luckily, this is at least one place where others can understand.
Depression and a sadness that permeates all my days are things I have learned to live with over the years. I think physical pain is, indeed, one of the reasons for that—but feelings of disappointment in my inability to perform everyday tasks, the little things I once took for granted, is an even bigger reason. More medication is not an option—my RA meds cause a lot of drowsiness already, too much to drive some days, and paying someone to listen to me talk would be a waste of money I do not have anyway, (besides, half the time I am unable to get out the words for what I want to say).Family attitudes will not change, and this is a part of my life I simply must learn to accept, over and over again when I need to remind myself that this illness exists in me for a reason I do not understand, but hope to someday.
This post is very timely for me Kelly. RA in itself is a very isolating disease, and for those of us who live alone, it is even worse. I have been considering suicide for months. Most of the time my thoughts are deliberate, not sad or panicky. Although I have been taking Cymbalta for over 10 years, I don't think it is effective for me any longer. I have reached out to my family and told them of my thoughts. My sister urged me to contact my states (Georgia) Mental Health Hotline, which I did. I will soon start seeing a Psychiatrist and Therapist at a reduced rate and can get my meds through a patient assistance program. PLEASE, if anyone is reading this and feels that their income or lack thereof is preventing them from getting mental health care, most states offer this service. I have not yet gotten into treatment yet, my first appointment is next week. But I recognize my depression is severe. My life has changed drastically over the last few years and I feel hopeless about my future. I am struggling, but I do have my sister for support. Thank you Kelly for your post.
I was diagnosed in July, and I am still processing my diagnosis and it's impact on my life. I have found encouragement in the RA Warrior links and articles, so thank you for all of them. Prior to my diagnosis, I had been taking Paxil for almost a year to address anxiety. I have remained on Paxil, which I think helps me from becoming depressed, but it's not the answer all by itself. Waking up with chronic pain each day can so easily drive anyone's emotions down the drain. I'm still early in my diagnosis but already can relate to the feeling of having to make a choice each day when I wake up to fight through the symptoms and do the best I can as a working mom. I cannot do it alone-I rely on my faith in God, not hiding it from my family members but sharing with them, and I try to do one thing just for me each day–something to treat myself like heated slippers, going to bed early, etc. As moms, we usually put ourselves last after the needs of everyone else, but I've found that I need to stop and take some time for myself each day if I'm going to stand up to this RA and not let it beat me.
Sad,sad comments here regarding depression and anxiety and also some very helpful suggestions about how to cope with the losses RA inflicts upon us. Once a very wise little girl of 10 years and fighting a serious bone cancer told me when I asked her if she often asked …,why me? She was taking a strong course of chemotherapy after a left leg amputation and her prognosis was grave. Her answer was straight forward and simple.. "No… I ask why not me?… Am I so special that only other people should be sick with cancer? I think I am lucky I am ten years old.. some people only get to live 20 minutes."And she smiled.
I thought about this answer of hers for many years after her death a few months later in
1984 and realized the wisdom in her words.. It doesn't help with the pain and it doesn't remove the disease and the deformities and the losses the disease inflicts and I still grieve each time I lose another ability but now I know something that I didn't know before. Like this little girl I am human. I was concieved and born with the possibility and potential of suffering any number of diseases and conditions. It happens that RA moved in and there may be other illnesses along the way for me to battle but I am still alive and can still fight. I have lived 68 years and I have been fighting this RA since I was 30 years old. I still have both legs, am still walking, talking, painting,reading and very often I am able to welcome the apin for it reinforces the fact that I am still alive. My memory of this little girls strength, reason and love of life keeps my depression under control.. reminding me that I am just simply not so special.
I was officially diagnosed with RA in Oct 2012. I have suffered with serious depression for 20 years. I also have cervical spinal stenosis, which exactly 1 year ago. On January 6,2012, a neurosurgeon rebuilt my neck with brackets and screws. I lived with debilitating pain for 7 years and had steroid shots in my spine every 6 weeks or so just to function. I took asprin, addvi, and lyrics by the handful everyday just to function. I "be taken cymbalta and wellbutrin for years. For me they have helped. My neck surgery was very successful. I am so thankful.
So when one struggle ended, this new one came along. My aunt died due to ra complications. This RA hashit fast and hard. Just having the energy to remain employed full time, has. Become a full time job. I find the exhaustion to be overwhelming, I find myself sinking back into dispare. Thoughts of suicide creeping back. Just like I have read on this blog, I do,nt look sick yet I have trouble walking. I find myself feeling very alone.
With 2013 on the horizon, to keep my feeling of panic under contol I tell myself, one day at a time.
I live near Harrisonburg Va. and can not any kind of support group near me.I have been living with RD for 7years, and sure could use someone who truly understands how alone this disease makes you feel.
Dear Elaine, I hope you have found someone, somewhere, to understand how alone this disease can make one feel. (I personally HATE IT and everything about it.) But please know that I am praying for you every single morning because I do not have anyone either – even my old dog/best friend just passed – and do not live near any groups, just like you. Just remember I am praying for you, Elaine, every morning to have a good day, like a little watchdog nipping at you and wanting you to smile! — God bless you always, Mrs. B

New judge appointed to case on Clovis library shooting
New judge appointed to case on Clovis library shooting
Oct. 19, 2017
CLOVIS, N.M. (AP) — Court documents say a Chaves County judge will preside over the case against a teen accused of killing two and injuring four in a deadly shooting at a Clovis public library in August.
The Eastern New Mexico News reports Judge James Hudson of the Fifth Judicial District Court was appointed to the case after all local judges recused themselves.
According to court documents filed Monday, Hudson accepted the reassignment designation in the case of 16-year-old Nathaniel Jouett.
The teen has been charged with two counts of first-degree murder and four counts of aggravated battery. He has pleaded not guilty.
The Associated Press generally does not identify juveniles accused of crimes, but is using Jouett's name because of the seriousness of the crime and because authorities are seeking adult sanctions.

1.Tell us a little about yourself and your new book what should we do for children.
My Name is Melinda Reynolds Tripp, I am a Safety Educator, Author, Speaker and Children Advocate.
I have taught children for 33 years, beginning in preschool settings, through 16 years of elementary
experience and now through School Situational Safety assemblies for Children.
When I could no longer meet the demand for assemblies, school superintendents asked if I could attempt to have my children work published.
Tate Publishing, We want to save the Nation's children"
Tate published my book in July 2010. It is a book for parents and Teachers to help them teach children a easy to use safety plan in case they have to deal with people with bad behavior.
2. Helping Children Protect Themselves in the Twenty-first Century,please share with us your thoughts!
Children can be armed with information that will make them aware of their surroundings, tech them what good behavior looks like, feels like.
The same with bad behavior. It is not what someone looks like or thier relationship to you that explains if they are good or bad it is what they say and do.
3.Children walking home from school,it is hard for us to allow this know,What is wrong with people?
Children are taught safety I hope that each child who begins by walking with friends, will have the awareness and confidence to walk alone as an adult ,safely.
I will tell you about the young woman who walkied into the salon I was in, plorring down with Green and Gold Nail color. I looked up smiling and asked Hilmar?
(school colors) she said no she was all about the Packers! I introduced myself and she said she remembered me, she said, " still use the lighthouse walk".
Looking both ways on my way back to my car at college……..she was nine the day she heard me speak at a school assembly. Children can learn to be safe for a lifetime.
4.Back in the day,children could not wait to walk home from school with our friends,so different now.
Not so different now. Bad adults have always been out there. Children are now kept inside, because parents do not have the tools they need to keep thier children safe.
Going to the park with your kids is great but if they can play with thier friends safely, that is wonderful also. They need to be aware of the behavior of others, what is permissable, and what is not.
An adult should not ask a child to help them, that is against the rules….they should not try to take them, hurt them or touch them where their bathing suit covers.
An aware child knows the difference between telling the neighbor, running by, which way their dog ran…….. and a stranger asking them to help find his dog……..there is a big difference.
5.Playing at the park the same thing,you have to go to the park with your children,or make them stay home.
Children should have safe places to play with their friends as long as all have had situational safety education and feels comfortable, saying no to a uncomfortable situation, running and telling a safe adult…..whether they are lost, or afraid.
6.A simple children plan is their best defense,share some tips with us.
A man attempts to pick up a child in a store and leave with them, the child know this is bad behavior, and begins to yell" YOU ARE NOT MY DAD!" The good people who are everywhere should be prepared at all times to help a child, or anyone who is in need and trying to save themselves. The child covers the man's eyes and continues yelling, and begins the swimmers kick, and as soon as she/he is put down runs to a safe adult, a store cashier works well, as they can call for the parents.
7.Your thoughts on this story.The social worker who delivered the two boys to the father who ultimately blew their home apart killing them all, what clues did they miss? What clues did the judge who ordered the visit miss ? Children taught to listen to their instincts, may have been prepared to talk to their safe adults just as they had been talking to their grandparents.
These boys were just beginning to remember and discuss
the night their mother vanished. Still under investigation. Grandparents had reason to not allow the father near the kids. Lots more will be coming out about this sad story.
8.What made you write the book safty for children? who needs to buy the book?
When my daughter's best friend in 6th grade was in an attempted kidnapping I look everywhere for curriculum for situational safety. Finding none, I wrote my own in 1994.
9.Share with us how you are marketing your book? What was your first book signing like for you?
Tate Publishing, Amazon, Speaking Engagements, Community And State encouragement, through the school system. Interest from Costco, they too are interested in saving the Nation's children.
10.Final comment:What's on your "Bucket List?" Top 5 things
you'd still like to do? ways to help children
1)I would like children to have the tools for situational safety. 2) I would like the opportunity to speak at Educational and 3) Parent forums
4)I would like to take my message to radio and television children forums and then.
5) To pass a law that children in the United States be given Situational Safety lessons as part a standard education.

I don't know if it's just my family, or does every family have their own crazy whacky cliches and sayings. When I was little, I used to love sitting up under my mother while she was on the phone talking to the friend and listening in on some of the bizarre cliches she would use. I had no clue about what she was talking about, but it was hilarious nonetheless. It's probably similar to when a foreigner is trying to learn English and hearing some of the wacky slang and cliches that we use and trying to make sense of it all.
Below are a few sayings from my dictionary! I hope you can keep up!
Most of my new friends have never heard me talk like this. If I've slipped up, they were kind enough to let me slide.
"Looking cock-eyed and crazy."- An expression to describe a look of stupidity that someone can show through facial expressions, as well as, body language and clothing (i.e. The clerk was looking cock-eyed and crazy when I expressed that I wanted my money back.)
"All day long and twice on Sunday."- An expression used to describe how a particular detail never changes or also describe how long a particular event will take (i.e. Did you get the groceries? All day long and twice on Sunday.)
"Get yo big!"- an expression that begins a dirty dozens joke (i.e. Get yo big head short pants self up out of here!) If you're from the Chi, you're probably very familiar with this one!
Looking like who shot John (and where's Mike)?- an expression to describe the look of amazement and confusion on one's face (the hubster's added the "and where's Mike?" portion) or a way to describe one's poor taste in attire (i.e. My co-worker was looking like who shot John in the meeting today.)
"Wow, seriously!!????!!"- a pop slang expression to express disdain towards a ridiculous situation, person, or question (i.e. Someone trips over their own feet. You say, "Wow, seriously!!?????!!??")
"Hankty"- another word that means uppity or stand-offish (i.e. Angela was acting very hankty today)
What are some of the crazy wacky things you or your family says??? Spill! I want to know! I know we're not the only crazy ones out here.

I can see you guys now! I bet it's hilarious! We love to laugh too!ReplyDelete

Las Vegas Invisalign Serving Las Vegas, Summerlin, and Henderson, Nevada
Invisalign® is a specific brand name for a type of invisible braces, and Las Vegas Invisalign is one of the most popular, effective ways for adults to straighten their teeth.
Invisalign is:
- Clear
- Comfortable
- Removable
Using a series of custom-fit, clear trays (called "aligners"), Las Vegas Invisalign gently moves your teeth into a more aesthetically pleasing and functional position. The process works like this:
- A series of aligners are custom-created for you
- You wear each aligner for about two weeks
- The aligner gently moves your teeth
- After two weeks, you switch to the next aligner in the series, and so on, until your teeth are straight and your bite is corrected
Depending on the severity of your positioning needs, Las Vegas Invisalign can take up to a year to complete. This is because the process is very gentle. Additionally, while it's best to wear the aligners at all times, they are removable, if you wish to take them out occasionally for special occasions.
Invisalign is barely noticeable. It won't affect the way you talk or the types of foods you can eat. It's the perfect way to straighten your teeth without having to feel self-conscious about your appearance. Invisalign is only available from a cosmetic dentist.
If you'd like more information about Invisalign, please contact our cosmetic dentist today. We serve patients in the Las Vegas, Summerlin, Clark County, Henderson, and Nevada area.

Steroids can make pimples pop up and hair fall out. They can make guys grow breasts and girls grow beards. Steroids can cause livers to grow tumors and hearts to clog up. They can even send users on violent, angry rampages. In other words, steroids throw a body way out of whack. Steroids do make users bulk up, but the health risks are high. It's true, on steroids biceps bulge; abs ripple; and quads balloon. But that's just on the outside. Steroid users may be very pleased when they flex in the mirror, but they may create problems on the inside. These problems may hurt them the rest of their lives. As a matter of fact steroid use can shorten their lives.
Awareness and educational efforts are working to help prevent anabolic steroid abuse in schools and communities. The Adolescents Training and Learning to Avoid Steroids (ATLAS) and the Athletes Targeting Healthy Exercise and Nutrition Alternatives (ATHENA) programs, funded by the NIDA, and supported by the Oregon Health & Science University programs is teaching athletes that they do not need steroids to build powerful muscles and improve athletic performance. These programs provide weight-training and nutrition alternatives, increase healthy behaviors, less likelihood to try steroids, and less likelihood to engage in other dangerous behaviors such as drinking and driving, use of marijuana and alcohol , and and improved body image. Bother Congress and the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration endorsed these model prevention programs. 4

So on Tuesday we will see the arrival of Valentines Day, easily one of the most hyped up 'holidays' and an excuse for establishments such as card shops and restaurants to rake money in. I'm not being cynical I just believe when you're with someone you should that you love them 365 days a year not just the one. That being said my boyfriend and I always try to do something for Valentines, I suppose it's gives you an excuse to not just sit in front of the tv! This year we're off to TGI Friday's, yes I know how classy ;) it's one of our favourite places to eat so we thought we'd have a treat! It's always nice to feel nice and well any excuse for a new dress so I've been looking for some cute Valentines outfits on online retailer Missguided.

They have an abundance of pretty and flirty outfits perfect for any Valentine's date; a meal, a trip to the cinema or just a takeaway and DVD.
All items from Missguided
I've chosen a girly pastel pink lace skater dress, a gorgeous sheer black blouse with hearts on the collar, a contrast black and pink dress which would be perfect for some drinks with your beau and finally a bright pink blazer to throw over some jeans to liven up a cosy night in. I love all these and there are so many gorgeous clothes on the Missguided website so check it out!
I hope you all have a great weekend :)

GMT Watches
Bremont's GMT watches provide a vital tool for today's global travellers. Every Bremont GMT model features an additional hand that can be set to GMT or another time zone. A rotating bezel displaying the 24-hour clock allows you to monitor up to three time zones. First developed in the 1950s at the dawn of the jet age, the GMT watch enabled pilots to keep time easily when crossing multiple time zones. Today the world feels an even smaller place, and the GMT function remains every bit as popular. Also known as UTC (Universal Time Co-ordinated) or 'Zulu' time, Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) is used as the standard international reference time for communications, military, maritime, aviation and other activities. Whatever you call it, with a Bremont GMT watch on your wrist, you always know what time it is elsewhere, wherever you happen to be.

So you're not going to the Big Careers Fair?
Next week (18 and 19 October), we're hosting the Big Careers Fair at Manchester Central Convention Centre. Maybe you know this already – you might have seen our shiny big banners around campus, spotted a poster, or one of your lecturers has mentioned that it's a good idea to go. Maybe, though, you think that none of this is for you – you're too busy, or you've never been to a careers fair before and don't know what to do. You may know exactly where you want to go in the future, so see the fair as a waste of time. Maybe you think that employers are all on the look-out for specific people and that you don't fit the bill.
As much as you may think that it's not for you, let me give you a few reasons why there will be something for you at the Big Careers Fair.
Employers are interested in who you are, not what you studied
Employers want to hire the right person, not the CV. Maybe you think that studying an arts degree makes you ineligible for finance, or you can't get that dream job in digital marketing because you're about to graduate from psychology, but many graduate jobs and placements are open to students from any discipline. Employers will often focus on your own individual qualities and strengths, outside of what you've learnt in your degree.
Day One of the fair has loads of opportunities from marketing, HR, finance, business and more, so there really is something for everyone one. Day Two is focused on roles in engineering, technology and science, so the technical-based roles will be looking for students and graduates from certain backgrounds. Before you attend, download The Manchester Careers Fair app (available on iOS and Android by searching the App Store or Google Play) to see a full list of the employers attending, the roles that they are offering, and generally get an idea of what's there for you.
Spend as much or as little time as you like
The fair is open from 10.30am – 4pm each day; although by no means do you have to be there for all of it! The fair is designed for you to take it at your own pace. Spend a good chunk of your day at the fair and attend some of the talks, or just pop in and speak to one or two employers that you've researched in advance. Again, download the app for the schedule of talks and list of employers – or visit the website.
All the gear, or no idea – you will get something out of it
Taylor Swift once said, 'I try to prepare for everything beyond the extent of preparation' and who could disagree with her? If you know exactly what you want to get out of the fair, and who to speak to, then turning up with a load of research under your belt and a stack of copies of your hot-off-the-press CV will stand you in good stead.
If you don't quite know what you're after, and you're a bit tentative about knowing what to do and who to speak to, you can still prepare by having a look at who's attending and what kinds of roles and opportunities are on offer. We'll also have an 'information point' with Careers Service staff to help you get started.
Check out the employer list on the app – you might see something that you're interested in, and come up with a question or two you'd like to ask on the day. Ultimately, you've got nothing to lose.
Who doesn't like a bit of window shopping?
One of the best things about a careers fair is being to walk around and just take in all of the different companies on display – it's a bit like window shopping, really. Just like there's no pressure to buy anything, there's no pressure to commit to deciding on the spot exactly what you'd want to do in the future! You can simply take a look around, and see if anything takes your fancy. You never know, something you thought would be a terrible fit for you actually suits you surprisingly well.
There are opportunities for everyone
To really hammer the point home, the one single thing that makes it a good idea to come along to next week's Big Careers Fair is that there are opportunities open to everyone. No matter whether you're a current student or a graduate, studying anything from accounting to zoology – with graduate jobs, internships and placement opportunities and a range of talks across the day, there'll be something for you.
Still not sure?
If you're still undecided, why not join the Facebook event for each day of the fair to see what we have planned and make an informed decision? If you'd like to attend, you can sign up in advance using the Eventbrite links or show up on the day. The choice is yours – hope to see you then!
Day 1 – 18 October – opportunities in management, business, marketing, finance, HR and much more.
Day 2 – 19 October – opportunities in science, technology and engineering.

You are the APPLE of my Pie! It's FALL y'all and I love this time of year and taking advantage of all the seasonal fruits and foods available at the market. The apples were looking extra delicious the other day so I made "Healthy Stuffed Apples w/ Pecan Crunch Topping" and what a fantastic guiltless little treat!
Hey, don't judge me because I like to indulge from time to time. Ok, who am I kidding all the time! But I also like to watch the waist line. I mean don't you just wish we could eat ourselves skinny? I'm telling you I would win that race because I love to eat!
- 4 Red Apples
- 2 Green Apples
- 1/2 cup Chopped Dates (I buy already pitted & chopped)
- 3 tbsp Coconut Milk
- 1/8 tsp Himalayan Salt
- 1 tbsp Necevia
- 1/2 tbsp Cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 1/4 tsp Apple Spice
- 1 tsp Lemon Juice
- 1/2 cup Chopped Nuts
- 2/4 Chopped Dates
- 1/8 tsp Cinnamon
- 1 tbsp Coconut Oil
- 1 tbsp Nectevia
- Pinch of Himalayan Salt
- Pre-heat 350 degrees.
- Peel your green apples and dice.
- Take your red apples, core them, and hull out the center of the apples. Don't go to close to the sides of the apples and make them to thin and don't discard the removed apple.
- Take the red apple you hulled out and dice.
- Add your diced apples, dates, coconut milk to a food processor and mix. There should be chunks of apple and dates still in the mixture.
- Take your apple mixture from food processor and add to a bowl with the remaining ingredients Himalayan salt, Nectevia, vanilla extract, lemon juice and spices.
- Now, stuff your red apples with your mixture.
- To make pecan stuffing add all the crunch topping ingredients to your food processor and mix. Do not over blend it should be chunky.
- Pile on your pecan crunch topping on top of your apples and bake for 20-25 minutes.
These stuffed apples don't skip a beat in flavor and that sticky pecan crunch topping is so unbelievably yummy I considered just rolling it into balls and eating it by itself!
Ok, confession time: I may of or may not of eaten it with the ice cream on top that originally was only suppose to be for photo purposes…… Don't be like me and turn it into a cheat, lol.

PORTSMOUTH, Va. (WVEC) -- City Councilman Mark Whitaker turned himself into police Thursday afternoon after a special grand jury indicted him on 20 charges.
Those charges are:
- Identity Fraud (2 counts)
- Forgery (11 counts)
- Uttering (passing) of a Forged Check (7 counts)
Longer video of Mark Whitaker turning himself in just minutes ago. He was silent - went straight inside. https://t.co/hyUgybywKT #13NewsNow pic.twitter.com/byhGBETndh— Chenue Her (@ChenueHer) April 20, 2017
Within hours after he turned himself in, Whitaker received an unsecured bond and was released. An arraingment has been scheduled for April 24.
Whitaker can continue serving as a councilman while the case proceeds.
The special grand jury began investigating the activities and the finances of a company, church, and defunct federal credit union to which Whitaker has ties on Tuesday.
The impaneling of the special grand jury and the indictment follow a 13News Now investigation that began in November 2015.
#Breaking: Ptown Councilman Mark Whitaker indicted by special grand jury on 20 counts. SGJ investigated his church, co. & FCU #13newsnow— Laura Geller (@13LauraGeller) April 20, 2017
Paperwork related to the case said the special grand jury would investigate the activities of three entities -- New Bethel Baptist Church, where Councilman Mark Whitaker is the assistant pastor, New Bethel Development LLC, where Whitaker is listed as manager, and the now-defunct New Bethel Federal Credit Union.
A special grand jury is different than the grand juries that meet in each Virginia locality on a regular basis. According to Virginia code, this type of grand jury actually has subpoena power. It can order witnesses to testify before it and bring documents to consider as evidence. Special grand juries consist of seven to 11 people.
The people who sit on this special grand jury are peers of Whitaker and anyone else they investigate.
The law says a majority of jurors, but not less than five, must agree in order to return a "true bill of indictment."
An indictment doesn't mean anyone is guilty, just that there's enough evidence to make a reasonable person believe a crime has been or may have been committed.
We reached out to Councilman Whitaker and his attorney for a comment ahead of the special grand jury, but neither responded to our request.
NOTE: About a year after 13News Now aired its original investigation, Councilman Whitaker sued our station, alleging the story defamed the public official. 13News Now is defending its work vigorously in court, and we stand by our story.

The moon is shining, the clouds are low and heavy, and all of Guanacaste is celebrating. The rain this year fully quenched the thirst of the land, and in response Pachamama, our Mother Earth, decided to celebrate in full force, pushing up bountiful fields of flowers and meadows of green. It is a cry back to the past, one with no memory of recent drought and tough times, the return to a plentiful paradise is still blooming even as we near February. Soon the fields will again turn brown, and the color change brings with it the fires. The fire is destructive, but it also brings new creation, new life once again. The land is renewed, and this cycle of life continues on unbroken, undeterred, and undefeated.
As the Earth celebrates, the feelings of hope and rebirth permeate through the people as well. The season after rain is the season of fiestas, an ancient time of festivals. The gatherings last for months, moving from town to town every weekend, spreading the energy of the season as it goes forward. All the towns are touched; they celebrate the Earth, the sweetness of good harvests after hard work, and they celebrate life. People come together, eat, drink, and are merry. During the time of the fiestas is when it is truly apparent that Guanacaste is simply another reincarnation of the Wild West.
Ranchers and cowboys come from all over the region to share their largest and meanest bulls. How do they celebrate? By setting the toros loose in a ring with a rider abreast their back, and a host of targets in front of their face. Once the bull sheds the rider, it may take its pick at any of the openly daring and inebriated people running through the ring trying to gain its attention. The ambulance stands ready to receive any injuries, and the toreadors are watching to distract the bull from causing any potential serious harm.
Inside the ring is a great place to gain perspective on the whole event. The bulls are immense; they weigh over a ton and their skin ripples over their hulking muscles that seem to be bursting outward. I am truly a blade of grass in front of a tornado as the bulls tear around the ring like a whirling dervish. No way exists to predict their actions, and simply by stepping inside one casts lots with the universe to determine one's fate. But how ALIVE I feel as I skirt the dangerous precipice between life and death, put my life in the hands of randomness and trust in myself to be safe. Everything tastes sweeter after a bitter drink, and everything seems more vibrant with the chance of pain behind it.
But is that not life? Fortune favors the bold. The easy path and the risk free way can always be found, but the unknown and unpredictable is so much more real, so much more intense. I want to live life, and to the max, and push myself the entire time. The status quo is far too boring; let's embrace randomness, let's embrace change. Let's embrace life, and live it. Love.

Batman: Arkham City this week marks a nice success for Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment, a division of the movie studio that started out with the less than popular The Matrix Online, and has slowly built up an empire that includes the Batman franchise, the Lego video games, and the Mortal Kombat series. The LA Times has a short profile of the company, and goes into detail on how it worked with studios like Traveller's Tales and Netherrealm to build up popular video game franchises that stand on their own even compared to the movie products.
That's not to say that the plan always works (remember the Green Lantern game?), but Warner Bros. seems to have built up a few solid properties independent of tie-in movies. The next, then, is apparently a Hobbit game -- the article says there will be a game based on Peter Jackson's movie sometime next year. The company will also release a Lego Batman sequel, and some other casual online games featuring Warner characters.
Oh, and there's one more: an unannounced game based on a different DC superhero. Has anyone else been J'onzzing for a Martian Manhunter escapade?

Five years after it first began working on the rule, the U.S. Department of Labor on Thursday published the final version of its controversial "Persuader Rule." Section 203 of the Labor Management Reporting and Disclosure Act requires an employer to report the identity, fee arrangement, and scope of activities performed by outside labor relations consultants that either directly or indirectly persuade employees to engage in or refrain from union organizing. It exempts from disclosure, however, services that simply constitute advice to the employer. The DOL had long interpreted this advice exemption as excluding from the LMRDA's reporting requirements activities that do not involve direct communications between consultants and employees. The new rule eliminates the exclusion of indirect communications from the LMRDA's reporting requirements, and focuses the reporting requirement on whether the consultant's activities are intended to persuade employees.
The new rule could raise serious attorney-client privilege concerns for employers, and remains vague as to when advice conduct may cross the line to become persuasion activity. Accordingly, employers should consult with their labor attorneys to determine what activities are likely to trigger reporting requirements. We also expect the rule to be heavily challenged by the business community. As of now, the Persuader Rule will take effect on April 25, 2016, and will apply to arrangements and agreements entered into on or after July 1, 2016.
